raynerho Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I emailed waxwork records if they would let me know if I'm in the initial 300, hopefully they give me an answer, don't see why they wouldn't I asked them on instagram what are the order numbers for the 300 orders. They replied saying "The first 300 customers will receive the zombie flesh and blood variant. You'll have to wait and see if you get lucky". Those were the exact words. I guess they won't be disclosing who got it until we get it in the mail and know we got it. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 They wouldn't because it is marketing. Same reason they haven't announced that all flesh and blood vars are gone. Say they are gone people will wait two weeks or not order at all. Say "see what you get!" and people will buy for the next few days hoping they are in the first 300 raynerho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hopefully rooksbook was the first, I haven't seen a lower order number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The real reason is what I said above - but if you want to see it working - go on their facebook. I have been trying to explain my reasoning and they are clueless (the guy who was asking deleted most of his posts). people on facebook who I guess don't really order a ton of in-demand records think that the first 300 will still be available until the end of the week. They are already gone. Others are confused and think the Pre-order is ONLY the variant. So people are adding everything they can to their cart and think there are still 91 left... We've already seen order #s 300 past mine at 881. So, there's no way. I'm not trying to be like "I was first! I'm so cool!" I'm just showing my work for my reasoning. And, when I placed my order, I ran here and posted right away because cool people deserve cool things . DJ Quik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffthomas84 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I was order 1131, hope I'm safe... For re animator , is the amazon version the green version? If anyone ordered from amazon? Just curious if there was a black retail version etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecomteduck Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Buy mine on amazon.fr marketplace, and i got a green one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've only seen a green re animator in local shops, will say green vinyl on sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 There's only green with randomly inserted glow in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffthomas84 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks all of you for the info on re animator... Waxwork tweeted a few hours ago that 200 MORE ZOMBIE FLESH/BLOOD VARIANTS are being inserted at random for those that missed out. Really hope being order #1131 that i'm safe for the variant.

wellnow Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It's cool that they didn't ONLY do randomly inserted variants like they did for Reanimator. I got #1109 so I'm hoping for the variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydrake33 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 So now the zombie flesh is out of 500. Not as cool. But still glad I got my order in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah I have mixed feeling about another 200 of the var being added. I mean, in the end, I'm not in it for flipping so, whatever. But, I think they realized that their sales were going to drop off a cliff in volume if everyone knew there was no chance for a var. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydrake33 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I would rather be the first of x amount to pre order than to get a random variant. I hate not knowing what id Hey cause then I'd order multiple copies hoping to get the variant. I ended up with 2 black poltergeist and pretty much gave the second one away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well, yeah, I agree. But basically what WW did was garner a ton of attention for their drop, and sold 300+ copies in about two hours. Then, they noticed no one was interested anymore. So, they announce that 200 more orders could get a zombie flesh var. Then everyone who was like "aw shucks I didn't get one" instead of being like 'f* waxworks I'm not buying one' is picking up a copy in hopes of getting a var. It's all marketing. If they keep doing random inserts I wouldn't be surprised if it was a set # at start of sale, and then a lesser # randomly inserted. To award the vigilant, and the random.

Whip Wilson Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 And I think this is completely fair. Those of us who purchased at the drop are guaranteed a variant and there is still some random incentive, similar to ReAnimator, for folks that couldn't be hovering over a computer on a random Tuesday morning. I think Waxwork also deserves kudos for having produced beautiful colored vinyl for their standard releases thus far. As opposed to Mondo who only makes one randomly inserted variant to encourage multiple unit sales. I, for one, prefer the green to the glow vinyl on ReAnimator. And on DOTD, yellow and green version's description sounds top shelf as well. I bought one of each and wouldn't be surprised if the standard version was just as nice, or nicer, than the variant. Death Waltz also has some colored versions that I prefer to the subscriber colors. Light in the Attic as well. rooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Agreed. I was more than happy with the green re-an. Having a lottery that's a win either way when you make a purchase is great in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Pretty crazy swing between the GiD Re-An and the flesh and blood var 110/2000 versus 500/2000 1/20 to 1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought international once on discogs, it was the Man with the Iron Fists Soundtrack that was released only in Europe for some reason, took like 3 weeks to arrive but it was in perfect condition.
